West Sussex County Council is looking for more people to come forward as foster carers this new year.

Foster homes offer children and young people a stable family environment while their own parents are unable to look after them.

Foster carers come from all walks of life and anyone is welcome to apply, regardless of their marital status or sexuality.

To find out more about fostering or for the 2014 fostering drop-in session dates, please visit the County Council’s website at www.westsussex.gov.uk (or phone 033 022 27775)
